NEW 2020 LAND ROVER DEFENDER
Reimagined for the 21st century, the 2020 Land Rover Defender offers the most off‑road capable Land Rover vehicle ever while staying true to the brand’s iconic design and reputation for rugged go‑anywhere utility. The New Defender will be available in 90 and 110 body styles, with up to six seats in the 90 and the option of five, six or 5+2 seating in the 110.
Delivering transformational breadth of capability and on‑road handling, the Defender is in a category of its own. The Land Rover brand has developed the new all‑aluminum D7x platform that delivers the stiffest Land Rover body ever created, with a torsional rigidity of 29kNm/Degree – making it three times more rigid than traditional body‑on‑frame designs. The New Defender is also the first Land Rover to feature Configurable Terrain Response®, allowing drivers to fine‑tune a range of settings to suit the conditions more precisely than ever before3.
While still embracing its known and loved silhouette, the short rear overhang on the Defender, the same for both body styles, is made possible by mounting the spare wheel externally, rather than under the rear floor, where it is readily accessible off‑road. The trademark side‑hinged rear door is further engineered to accommodate any of the available wheel and tire combinations. These strong foundations provide an ideal basis for the fully‑independent suspension, twin‑speed transfer box and permanent four wheel drive.
To complete the functional, durable and flexible interior with exposed structural elements, the iconic 4x4 debuts the new PIVI Pro4 infotainment system featuring an intuitive interface, while Software‑Over‑The‑Air updates allows customers to access to the latest software updates remotely. Additionally, the vehicle features an intuitive 10‑inch touchscreen with standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility delivers enhanced user experience and broader range of functions5.
Owners will be able to further tailor the New Defender to their lifestyle through the fitment of four distinct optional Accessory Packs (Explorer, Adventure, Country and Urban), as well as an available 170 individual accessories.
